Replying to: bonz1 (Sep 14, 2008 1:21 pm) In some trucks it is a normal sound of the fuel injectors. Replies to this message: bonz1 (Sep 15, 2008 4:37 pm) jpf (Sep 17, 2008 7:25 pm) poncho167 (Sep 20, 2008 10:00 am)

Replying to: bonz1 (Sep 15, 2008 4:37 pm) Check out the forum for engine problems. Also, you may consider switching to a higher quality oil (e.g. synthetic). Good luck.

Replying to: bonz1 (Sep 15, 2008 4:37 pm) No, I am not sure about the I5 and fuel injector sounds. A friend has a Dodge Intrepid and that was his issue though his injectors were going bad. Sounded almost like the engine valves initially when I checked it out.   Put some fuel injector cleaner in the gas and see what happens.

Replying to: bonz1 (Sep 14, 2008 1:21 pm) hi  sorry to hear about your problem .I also had the same issue read my post on my 08 canyon they finally had to take it back . the problem centers around the timing chain tensioner. They adjusted mine and the issue went away not totally but better .I didnt accept it. Now i have another 08 canyon which had the same issue they adjusted the tensioner and i am pleased with it so far. My truck (#1) had less than a thosand miles on it at the time . Don't let them tell you that this issue doesn't exist. I researched it and went to dealers and cranked brand new trucks and it is not some common to the I-5 eng GM HAS AN ISSUE!!! stick to your guns GM has a fix and knows ful well that it is an issue .don' let them snow you with the warrenity thats a cop out. I use the word ISSUE because GM says THAT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT AN ISSUE, TO ME IT's A SERIOUS PROBLEM GOOD LUCK semper fi Replies to this message: bonz1 (Sep 21, 2008 10:23 am) gfcar (Sep 30, 2008 5:38 pm) leadfoot4 (Oct 05, 2008 5:00 am) gmeraz (Oct 12, 2008 5:33 pm) dbcrue (Oct 14, 2008 11:37 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: bonz1 (Sep 14, 2008 1:21 pm) I have a 2004 that does the same thing. I was told that its because i had install the wrong type of oil filter, one with out a check valve. But I know that is not the reason for the sound. I've been changing the oil regularily and have had installed factor GM filter. My sound is getting worse and it now clatters while driving down the road. I to love my truck and am concerned about the problem. I have been a Mechanic for over 30 years and I know what loose or bad valves sound like, But the dealer said that my problem isn't covered by the GM warrantee or recall letter because there isn't any trouble codes that come up or any miss fires. So as it is right now. They will not do any thing and probably never will.

The only person that has changed my oil is the dealer. I only have 4500 miles on the truck.   thanks very much for the feedback Replies to this message: donnyr (Sep 22, 2008 5:08 am) sgfunk (Sep 27, 2008 7:04 am)

Replying to: lift4041 (Sep 21, 2008 2:32 pm) Guys, the oil filter having or not having a check valve would NOT be an issue with the Canyon/Colorado engine. The filter is in the VERTICAL position on this engine, so how would the oil drain from it, when the engine is shut off??   The dealer is giving you a load of "hooey".......   BTW, I've been using Baldwin filters in my Canyon ever since the first oil change, and I've had no such issues. (Oil changes every 2000 miles, 25,000 miles currently on truck) Replies to this message: lift4041 (Sep 24, 2008 1:48 pm)

Replying to: bonz1 (Sep 21, 2008 4:16 pm) Guys its not the oil filter I'm telling you from exp that GM knows the issue and has a fix and it exist in the TIMMING CHAIN TENSIONER ADJUSTER > ASK THEM ABOUT THE REPAIR IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE ON BOTH MY )08CANYONS ONE THEY TOOK BACK. HOPE THAT THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR ISSUE                                                                                         SEMPER fi
